1. لَقَد عَضَّت لِئامُ بَني فُقَيمٍ

    عَلَيَّ أَنامِلَ الضَغنِ الحَسودِ

    Indeed, the base men of Banu Fuqaym have bitten

    Their fingertips in envious rancor against me.

  2. وَما نَهَضَت فُقَيمٌ لِلمَعالي

    بِزِندٍ في الفَخارِ وَلا عَديدِ

    And Fuqaym has not risen to lofty honors

    Through strength of arm or numbers in vying for glory.
